| Summary |
This is a core text for trainee primary teachers. It is a guide to the teaching of computing and coding in primary schools, and an exploration of how children develop their computational thinking. It covers all areas of the National Curriculum for primary computing and offers insight into effective teaching. The text considers three strands of computer science, digital literacy and information technology. The teaching of coding is especially challenging for primary teachers so the text highlights learning on this, giving practical examples of how this can be taught. For all areas of the computing curriculum the text provides guidance on planning age-appropriate activities with step-by-step guides and details of educationally appropriate software and hardware. The text helps you to connect what you need to teach, with how it can be taught and opens up the opportunities in the new curriculum for creative and imaginative teaching. Includes the full National Curriculum Programme of Study for Computing, key stages 1 and 2 as a useful reference for trainee teachers. |
